    I can’t pick one individual file, since most of what I have is replaceable, but probably the picture folders (tiny and general), since I’ve spent years gathering what’s in them.

  40. I have a program tracker that I paid for which has over 600 files in it that I use daily and if I lost that I would be really down. I could retrieve a new license and install the tracker again with no problem from the company I purchased it from but would have no way of retrieving the 600+ files I use that are stored in this program. I have a lot of work and time involved in these file and they are very important to me. I really need a back up but with being laid off last week it doesn’t look like I am going to be able to afford to purchase one. Thanks for the opportunity to enter.

    I had an external LaCie HD, but it is not working correctly anymore, making a clanky noise likes its going to crash any minute now. So, all I have left is back up to a couple of 8GB SD cards and DVDs.

    Its all manual and switching cards, so I have not been keeping up with it.

  106. I reckon that my outlook pst file has to be the one that I would like to lose least. A while ago I lost a whole bundle of files during an upgrade to Windows 7.

    I think the ones I am most upset about were my diptrace schematics. Designs that I had laboured over are now lost to the ether. I have most of the circuit boards in manufactured form, but it’s always nice to be able too reprint. They are gone for good.. the outlook.pst file is the one that I guard preciously now.
